Noises in the Closet

As I get ready in the morning, I often hear a heavy breathing echoing out of my closet. 

Monster? 

Nope. 

Intruder? 

Nope. 

Lil Foot. 

He's claimed the corner of my closet as his own. The problem is that he wets the bed (which is why he sleeps alone). I tried to make him sleep on a towel, but he doesn't cooperate. 

Sometimes Otis joins him in the closet and then we really hear heavy breathing. 

;) 

Just one more way that I live in a Zoo! 

Sunshine Party

I'm Yesterday was a sunny afternoon so I opened my door and let my torts bask.

I even pulled my old girl Hermy (desert tortoise) to get some sun. She was NOT amused. 

It was rather fun and chaotic as tortoises went everywhere. 

Lil Foot the Bigger-- 

Pan & Heidi found the soft bed and heat light--

Lil Foot the Younger finds a soft boot-- 

Pudge, the only turtle, found the other boot-- 

And because they wouldn't stay in the sun, I put food down. That kept them there -- until they started pooping. Poop, pee, food, and sunshine. It was a Tortoise Party! 

My Torty Family

Grandma Hermy - 70-ish year old desert tortoise

Lil Foot - 10 year old red foot tortoise

Voldetort - 6 year old Russian tortoise 

Georgie - almost 2 year old leopard tortoise 

Heidi - almost two year old sulcata tortoise 

Lil Foot the Red Foot Tortoise

My rescue buddy decided to rehome his 10 year old male red foot tortoise.

I couldn't say no. ;) How could anyone resist that face?!?

Now I have a family of FIVE tortoises. Lil Foot has made himself right at home. He has his own favorite place outside -- it's under a bush where Daisey the sulcata with the prolapse used to hide so we call it Daisey's garage.

He doesn't want to sleep in the laundry room and has staked out his own spot in the front room. I've tried to correct this, but he won't have it. ;) 

He loves mango (almost as much as Turbo!)

He's a nice, cute, and friendly tortoise and I'm thrilled to have him.
